and another one

BEAST OF BURDEN


When I think of what it was to how it is now,
I no longer feel like a sacred cow.

Gone are the days when I’d cower and cry,
Gone are the feelings of wanting to die.

Clear-headed almost and out of my pain,
The light of my tunnel has ignited again.

Gone are the sensations of walking on water,
At least I’m not next as a lamb to the slaughter.


But for how long this time?
